Fiction author JK Rowling claimed on Twitter that President Donald Trump avoided a wheelchair-bound boy, but unedited video proves that he did shake the boy’s hand.

Trump met with a group of “victims of Obamacare” on June 24 shortly before giving a press conference about health care reform. The victims stood on the stage behind Trump as he gave his speech.

According to the “Harry Potter” author and a conveniently edited video, as Trump was taking the stage he avoided shaking the hand of a young boy in a wheelchair.

Rowling went on a Twitter rant about the “stunning moment,” claiming Trump avoided the child “as though frightened he might catch his condition.”

Trump imitated a disabled reporter. Now he pretends not to see a child in a wheelchair, as though frightened he might catch his condition.

However, unedited video shows Trump actually greeted the boy first and bent down to his eye level and shook his hand.

Who cares what JK Rowling's claims? Poor Trump everyone doesn't like him.

Trump spent years claiming Obama was born in Kenya until he was forced to retract his lie. Was that fake news?
What about Trump's claim that Obama "sick man" wiretapped him? Was that fake news?

Poor Trump the victim is being treated unfairly by celebrities. Boohoo.

JK wasn't the only person who retweeted the vid. Why pick on her?
Her tweet that I saw merely quoted Maya Angelou "When someone shows you who they are, believe them."

Did the Daily Caller "fake news" the other stuff to suck in the gullible?

JK Rowling's attorney is a friend of mine. I will ask her what happened
 
Another example of special editing or not reporting the complete story.

One reason I take vids with a great deal of skepticism unless one gets to see the whole unedited vid. Even then one has to be aware of context. When did the vid begin and end. What happened before the vid started and what happened after it ends.

You mean like Project Veritas and their edited gotcha videos?

I prefer to take each incident vid on its own merits. Just watch msm news. You do realize the vids are edited. Do you ever wonder what msm cut out?

Hi Turtle, the original video has been posted all over Twitter. JK Rowlings posted an edited version that left out the part where Trump walked into the area and he immediately bent down to eye level with the little guy in the wheel chair and recognized him first .

You can view the video at the link below.

I know, I was joking. One of my college classmates and good friends handles JKR's copyright and IP matters.
 
Keith Olbermann retweeted the "edited" vid too, yet JK is selected for particular attack. Is that because she's foreign, female, or fantastic?

ps Mark Hamill too!
